I would still like to create a terminal block and hook all my fans to it so I can use the stock LED fan button to turn off all fan LED's. So if anyone knows the details on how to do that let me know!

I have been following this thread, and there are certainly a lot of really cool cases here!

Man that cable management behind the mobo is hard to get organized well, yours looks pretty darn good. That front panel audio is routed better than mine for sure. Window looks killer as well, Rep up!

20 Watt fans on this one and they both light with red and blue light depending on intensity. you can paint the front bezel to make it prettier. This one can also be used for one dimmer of a set of Cold cathodes. The wire for that is included in the box.

I really liked that controller. I bought one from performance pcs a few years ago that had a brushed aluminum bezel and an led mod.

thats what i figured, that means cooler master lied oh well, i guess if u want the real blue R4's u have to buy direct from them. see what happened is, they built 2 blue R4 fans... one like the rest at 90 cfm and the other as a replacement part for the hyper 212 cpu fan (69 cfm) they told me this part shouldnt even be in circulation... so what im guessing is that all the company's that r buying these are buying the incorrect model, which isnt hard cause the 69 cfm was the only one i could find on their site. they had to send me a link to the correct fan. plus the geniuses put the same part number on both models yeah they need a standing ovation for that one!!!? if anyone wants the real deal, this is the only place ur going to find them....

these other company's need to step it up so that i dont have to run into these issues!

Funny thing is if you click on the "For more information, please visit this products webpage" link it sends you to the 69 cfm ones. I really don't see how they sell 2 different versions of the same fan with the exact same rpm, product number, price, fan blade design and decibal rating. Did you actually talk to them about it? Makes me want to send them an email about it lol.
If so i want pick those up and start slinging them on the street haha.

Where did you get that 90cfm one? I think there's some false advertising going on with CM lol. If they really sell a 90 cfm@2k rpm model i would be blown away, those are some incredible stats. I think the fan would be alot more popular then it is considering how cheap they are. I mean 69 @ 19db is already pretty awsome.

I moved a bunch of the cables to different places so the panel would go on easier. The first time I did it it was just as you guy's have described, had to use both hands, both feet and my head to get the side panel on!

yeah ive been talking to them 4 the last 2 days, the 69 cfm is only a parts fan according to them and isnt supposed to be sold by anyone but them, they said that it doesnt even have retail packaging... which is bs cause those ones are sold on everyones site

We should all switch fans to Xigmatecs. Painted of course I hate the light brown color or sythe or yate loons and be done with it.

I Bought these and I loved them.
